I watched WTS because the premise of the drama was interesting. However, the story isn't well written or directed. The dialog is lacking at times. I am still uncertain what the writer was trying to convey with the God, reaper, human with abilities, regular human interaction. I think it might be that no one is infallible. Also, there wasn't much screen time for the relationship of the main leads and it put a damper on the romcom part of the drama. There was no chemistry, but I wonder if that isn't because they didn't spend much time together on screen to show the chemistry. For the first time, I will say that this drama needed more episodes to tell the stories of all the characters and bring out their personalities. I felt pretty much nothing for the characters because their stories felt rushed and they didn't really connect the way the writer probably thought they would. Overall this drama failed because of the writing.
I know people have a problem with Kim Hyun Joong. I think he is a good actor. No, he's no So Ji Sub (who could be?) but he does just fine. He played Joon Woo as a kind man searching for something. Kind of like #Keanu Reaves in that he makes me like him even though his acting isn't perfect. Ahn Ji Hyun plays Kim Sun Ah as a cheerful, struggling woman who is searching for happiness. I have seen all of her supporting rolls and was pleasantly surprised to see her as a lead. Too bad the first time is this drama. Im Gyo Jin as Myung Woon was also good. At least his story made sense. The supporting characters also had characters and story lines that were better than the main leads. I wish I could have connected more to these great actors.
The music is good.
I will never rewatch this.
I don't recommend this to anyone wanting a deep connection and a happy romcom. However, it isn't horrible. I don't regret watching it.
